South Melbourne Night Market

I think this is possibly the quickest turnaround from snapping the photos to uploading into a blog post I’ve ever done. This evening, Alex and I hopped on a tram to catch the last of the Summer’s weekly South Melbourne Night Markets. I absolutely fell in love with all of the beautiful homewares stalls. I am definitely going back to South Melbourne to pick up one of those hanging succulent pots as soon as I can work out where I can hang it on our balcony! (And maybe to buy the Chocolate Souffle soy candle that I couldn’t stop sniffing for 1 minute straight).

After doing the usual rounds and inspections of all of the food stalls that is obviously essential at a market, I settled on Overdosa – Southern Indian crepes with pumpkin and they were divine. But the real showstopper was the salted caramel liquid nitrogen ice cream from 196° Below. It was sweet, it was salty, it was amazing. There’s something unbeatable about ordering street food in the fresh air and nibbling away whilst wandering through market stalls on a warm Summer’s evening.

P.s. Everyone here is all about ‘saying goodbye to Summer’ at the moment, what is that about? I’ve just arrived, Australia! Hoping the weather holds out for a month or so!

How amazing! This sounds like so much fun. My sister is in South Melbourne at the moment, so I've just forwarded your post onto her in case she hasn't heard about this. Enjoy the rest of your adventure 🙂
